Looking to buy one of those for a new retro project 😀
I will pay well!
Are you still looking for a RAP-10? I have just determined that my old PC won't start anymore (CPU beep code). It would be nice if someone could make use of the RAP10 card.
 
Do you believe with his story? :oops:
Why would you immediately doubt someone you don't know with zero evidence to suppose that I'm lying? Isn't it a bit more polite to assume that someone is telling the truth first?
Here's a photo I took last night of the card. I removed it from the PC in order to replace the BIOS battery. The old battery was dead, and that was causing the beep code. The PC now boots, but I need a PS2 keyboard adapter to be able to interact with the BIOS. The BIOS appears to be so old that it doesn't recognise a USB mouse or keyboard. I'm trying to get the PC to run Windows, because I want to record the RAP10 playing a MIDI file for a record of what it sounded like. I have an MT32 which sounds similar, but I'd like a record of the RAP10 if I can get one. Right now, I need that PS2 adapter, but I think the next problem is that my LCD monitor doesn't support the video mode which Windows is booting into. I can see the POST, but then the screen goes black. It's also possible that the VGA to HDMI adapter doesn't support the video mode.
